Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 223 W Menomonee Street in Old Town, owned by William D Kenworthy, has been in operation since 1911. The property's service request history over the past seven years shows relatively low activity, with only three recorded 311 service requests. The most recent request, made in May 2026, was for a water lead test kit, which has since been closed. This request indicates the owner's proactive approach to addressing water quality concerns. In January 2026, there was an open request for sign repair, though the specific nature of the sign was not disclosed. The only other recorded incident was a closed complaint regarding e-scooter parking from October 2025, which suggests some neighborhood activity related to shared mobility services. While the building's service request history is not extensive, the presence of both a water lead test request and an open sign repair request as of early 2026 warrants attention, though it's worth noting that these requests are being addressed through official channels.

Risk rating

How 223 W Menomonee St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 572 buildings in this neighborhood, 6 are predicted to be safer.
